Setup Displays

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2005 Mercury Mountaineer and 2005 Ford Explorer. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

The setup displays are timed modes and terminate after a finite interval. The setup display modes are:

language
English/metric units
system check
oil life status
oil life in xx%
charge system status
oil pressure status
engine temp status
washer fluid level
brake fluid level
fuel level status
distance to empty
tire warning

Every 180 days or 8,000 km (5,000 miles) the oil life display in the message center SYSTEM CHECK will decrease gradually from 100% to 0%. At 5% oil life, the CHANGE OIL SOON warning indicator illuminates. At 0% oil life, the OIL CHANGE REQUIRED warning indicator illuminates. Oil life status is continually displayed in the SYSTEM CHECK portion of the message center and oil life warnings appear if the oil life is low. For additional information, refer to the Owner's Literature.
